<p>bump anyone!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>mm i'd say you're right aboutgetting your SAT scores up. I would say make the CRM/M at least 700+ each.</p>

4

<p>I agree with Aspen D but also if someone else from your school was already accepted, that could hinder your chances (I'm saying "could" because I'm not sure if PLME admits one person/school).</p>

5

<p>anyone else can someone give me a better analysis or one more in depth on
what could improve !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>

6

<p>you take 14 classes? or do the APs include the honors classes?</p>

<p>Sorry if this may sound a little harsh, but you will not get in with your SAT score. Nowadays, Brown (the regular college) wants all sections of the SAT to be at least a 700, so for PLME, you would probably want a little higher. You should bring it up to at least a 2200 to be considered competitive. Also, it largely depends on your essays.</p>

8

<p>above 1500 SAT if you want to stand a fighting chance for PLME.</p>

<p>any health related e/cs? this is probably what helps most people who get accepte dinto the PLME program</p>

<p>and idk if you have any leadership positions listed on your resume...</p>

<p>I am in the PLME. Believe me when I say that SAT scores are nearly trivial if you've shown that you're committed to a career in medicine. Almost every PLME I know, including myself, interned or worked at a research facility and had excellent essays to portray themselves as worldly people who do not fret over petty course loads or standardized test scores. I think you're chosen based on your personal record's relevance to and potential for medicine, not your personal record of generic college admission criteria.</p>

<p>That may be true. But to get accepted to PLME, you have to get accepted into Brown. And those SAT scores are indeed quite low. I would say to be competitive raise each section of SAT to 700+, but with your strong GPA and rank, raising it even higher makes your chances that much better.</p>

<p>You can't really go wrong with higher test scores.</p>

<p>Most, if not all of these combined med programs, will almost require you to have a 1400+ or 2100+ SAT</p>
